We are all the inheritors of a European culture combining diversity and unity says Walter Schwimmer[17/04/2002]

Speaking at the opening of the Colloquy on ''European Identity'' the Secretary General stressed : ''We have different nationalities. We speak different languages, are attached to different towns and regions, to different traditions, to different symbols, legends and myths. But we are all the inheritors of a European culture which is profoundly marked by an enigmatic and fascinating amalgam of diversity and unity. In the spirit of such unity, we are committed to the same fundamental values and principles. They are at the very heart of our European identity.''
